Pray this Lazaroo in non-argumentative submission:

“…welcome him as you would welcome me.”
(Philemon 1:17)

That’s a tall order, Jesus –

especially if I’m close to the person who’s making the request
and don’t know the person I’m supposed to welcome.

But isn’t that what You ask of me with every Christian I meet?

I’m supposed to treat them the way I’d treat You.

It doesn’t matter that they don’t deserve such a welcome.

That’s what You want
That’s what I’d better make sure You get.

Pray this Lazaroo overwhelmed with gratitude:

“…not see the first rays of dawn.”
(Job 3:9)

Some people never see the first rays of dawn, Jesus.

They’re fast asleep.

Others could if they wanted to

but they’re busy inside.

Still others can’t see the sun’s first rays or anything else

because they’re blind.

Those first rays are precious, Jesus!

May I never take them for granted.

They signify that You’ve granted me one more day

to serve You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…their minds and consciences are corrupted.”
(Titus 1:15)

Having a corrupted mind would be bad enough, Jesus…

but a corrupted conscience?
unable to feel any regret for a harmful decision?

Such a person is severely handicapped beyond recovery

unless You intervene.

But that’s what it takes for any sinner to give up control of their own life and submit totally to You!

Your supernatural intervention.

Otherwise, we’d all choose our own way.

O God!
Thank You for rescuing me.

Pray this Lazaroo in dawning awareness:

“Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women…”
(Esther 2:17)

No doubt Esther was beautiful, Jesus.

Certainly, she was also granted favored status in the harem.

But wasn’t all of this from You – her beauty, her special treatment…

and especially the king’s strong reaction to her?

Are all such attractions Your doing?

You have a plan.
It’s a plan for the ages.
Esther was part of that plan

as am I.

Pray this Lazaroo with single minded determination:

“…if anyone competes as an athlete…”
(2 Timothy 2:5)

I can learn a lot from athletes, Jesus.

They do their best to discover their gifts
as You want me to do.

They work hard to develop those gifts
as You tell me to do.

They focus relentlessly on their goal
as You call me to do.

When they fall short, they get up and try again
as You enable me to do.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“They…put its doors…in place.”
(Nehemiah 3:6)

There’s something about the moment a door is installed, Jesus.

Before…when anyone can walk in…
I feel a little vulnerable.

But after the door goes in, it feels safer, more complete.
The people living inside can breathe a little deeper.

That’s pretty much true of every door –

front, back, side…
anywhere someone can enter
day or night.

But when it comes to the door of my heart, Father

it’s always open
for You.

Sunday, September 4, 2016

 

Pray this Lazaroo with a desire to learn:

“…that we may live…quiet lives…”
(1 Timothy 2:2)

This one’s…unexpected, Jesus.

I enjoy quiet as much as the next person
perhaps less than some, more than others.

I certainly appreciate the virtues of quiet

easier to rest, relax, think
at least for some people. 😉

But maybe You’re not referring to the absence of noise.
Maybe this has nothing to do with volume.

Perhaps You’re talking about the inner quietness
that comes from knowing You have everything

under control.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“In the second month of the second year after their arrival at the house of God in Jerusalem…”
(Ezra 3:8)

What a great way to tell time, Jesus!

Have it start from the first day they arrived at Your house.

I tell time much the same way.

No…not from the time I arrived in Your house in Jerusalem
But from the time You entered my life and I became Your house.

You live in me!
Me!

Now that…is love.

Pray this Lazaroo in stunned admiration:

“And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:8)

Not with Your fist, Jesus

not by delivering a kick with Your foot
not by Your powerful Word
not by Your sword, spear or javelin
not by the might of heaven’s army
not by clever subterfuge

But by Your breath!

will You completely unhinge the most powerful, charismatic, evil leader this world has ever known.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“He assigned 70,000 of them to be carriers…”
(2 Chronicles 2:18)

These were the aliens living among the Jews, Jesus.

Solomon gave them the dirt jobs
the tasks no one else wanted.

If a Jew needed something heavy carried from here to there

all he had to do was call a carrier.

I’m no alien in Your Church, Father.

But if You want me to carry something heavy for You

short distance or long

I’d be honored to do so.
